Welcome to The Printers Rest

Once again Maltese dishes are at the heart of our menu. For 2024, we continue to demonstrate that Maltese cooking, while not generally as well known as other Mediterranean cuisines, is certainly as interesting and delicious.

Maltese meals are often large and lengthy affairs. They tend towards grazing from a variety of dishes, and there is less formality – sharing is the name of the game.

Our menu is geared towards people sharing dishes, with antipasti in particular coming out in stages depending upon what they are.

Maltese cuisine is based on simple techniques, using high quality ingredients. Vegetables of all kinds are loved, and meat and fish are used respectfully in moderation. We often use tinned tuna, as many Maltese prefer it to fresh tuna, but whenever possible we use Bonito Del Norte tuna, generally acknowledged as the best tinned (or bottled) tuna available, and the taste of my childhood.

This line & pole caught tuna is unfortunately rather expensive, but such is life.
We always use the best produce available, and wherever possible local suppliers.

Please note that we make everything from scratch, in small batches. We operate on a rolling basis, and don’t expect to have the entire menu available at any one time. This ensures that freshness is paramount, so please understand if your first choice is not available. It probably will be next time!

We have a range of hot & cold drinks, but are not licensed to sell alcohol. If you would like to have wine or beer with your meal, you are welcome to bring your own (BYO). There is a small corkage charge of £2.50 per person for this service.

food allergies & intolerances
Almost all of our dishes will contain at least one of the 14 named allergens. It is your responsibility to let us know when placing your order if you have any medical issues with specific ingredients.
